Patent EP-0229355-A2 (EP)
Inventor: VAINIO ATTE OLAVI
IPC: G01N21/59
Filed: 1986-12-18
Abstract: The invention consists of an apparatus which can be used for the measurement of changes in light intensity in the liquid phase. A characteristic of the apparatus is that it does not include its own light source, but instead the apparatus utilizes ambient illumination. The apparatus can be used instead of a photometer for quantitative, semi-quantitative or qualitative chemical, immunochemical or enzymatic assays and also for other analyses in which change in the intensity of light passing through a liquid phase is recorded between different measurements or alternatively the change is monitored continuously as a function of time. The change in light intensity may result eg. from changes in the size or number of light-absorbing or light-­scattering particles in the liquid. The apparatus is inexpensive and can easily be transported. The apparatus also includes the necessary controls, display, A/D-­converter or comparator, processing unit, timer and power source. The power source may be eg. a solar cell or a small battery.

Abstract: A polycrystalline ceramic scintillator exhibiting reduced afterglow includes between about 5 and 50 mole percent Gd₂ O₃ , between about 0.02 and l2 mole percent of either Eu₂ O₃ or Nd₂ O₃ as a rare earth activator oxide, and between about 0.003 and 0.5 mole percent of either Pr₂ O₃ and Tb₂ O₃ as an afterglow reducer. The remainder of the scintillator composition is Y₂ O₃ . The resulting scintillator is especially useful for a radiation detector of the type having a plurality of radiationreceiving channels (14). A scintillator body is disposed in each channel so that radiation being received therein is incident on the scintillator body and causes the body to convert the incident radiation to light energy of a predetermined wavelenth. The radiation detector also includes means for converting the light energy from the scintillator into electrical signals (18) which are proportional to the amount of radiation incident on the scintillator body. Methods for preparing the scintillator of the present invention include sintering, sintering combined with gas hot isostatic pressing, and vacuum hot pressing.

Abstract: An automatic assembly apparatus or robot (4) holds a pin (1) in an instrumented gripper (5, 6), moves open-loop to the "detection region" (9) in which airflow forces (7), primarily lateral forces, in the vicinity of the hole (2) may be dependably sensed (6). Relatively large lateral airflow forces in the detection region are sensed and the pin (1) is moved toward the hole (2). The airflow forces exhibit an abrupt force change as the pin reaches the insertion point (10) within the "capture region" of the hole defined by the mechanical chamfer or significantly extended as a result of the virtual chamfer of airflow through the hole. The insertion point is the point where lateral X, Y force vectors balance to a null, and where Z force readings change from complex X, Y, Z force vectors to simple Z force vectors. The controller (4) commands an open loop move to place the pin (1) within the detection region; then commands a closed loop move, using a skirt (17) around the pin or the pin itself as a probe, and sampling the force vectors until the insertion point (10) is detected; then commands a move in the Z direction to put the pin into the hole. Insertion success or failure is detected by sampling the Z force vectors for blockage by the plate, or by sampling pressure as the pin plugs the hole. Retry routines follow detection of any insertion failure.

IPC: G11C7/18
Filed: 1988-04-12
Abstract: This invention relates to the layout of memory cells (1) and their associated pair of bit lines in such a way that very high density arrays are obtainable. The resulting memory cell array is one in which the bit lines (B02, B03) associated with each column of memory cells are interleaved with the bit lines of (B11, B12) adjacent columns of memory cells. By this means, regions of the semiconductor chip in which the cells are formed, which were formerly unusable, now become usable and cell area is significantly reduced. Because the spacing of metallic bit lines is governed by certain ground rules, cell length in the x-dimension could be reduced no further as long as metallic interconnections were used. To overcome this limita­tion, polycrystalline fingers or extensions (13) are substituted for metal cross-coupling interconnections. Because polycrystalline interconnections have less stringent requirements relative to their spacing, using such interconnections in conjunction with metallic straps (14) which are shorter than the widths and spacing of two metallic interconnection lines again provides a significant reduction in the x-­dimension and hence in cell area. When interleaved bit lines, polycrystalline fingers (13) and straps (14) are used at the same time instead of metal intercon­nections, both approaches provide a memory cell area which is significantly improved over cell areas when neither or only one of the approaches taught are used. The method and structure taught may be utilized with both bipolar and unipolar devices.
